Global Building Automation System Market Growth to Fast-track with Growing Launch of Innovative Products by Market Players

The construction industry is progressing like never before in the recent years. With many other innovative technologies, products, and methods used in this industry, building automation system (BAS) is one of the novel technologies broadly used in commercial, industrial, and residential building projects. A building automation system is a network designed to connect and automate some specific functions within a building. In a BAS, several control systems inside a building like lights, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning) systems, fire alarms, and security systems are connected to one set of controls. BAS is usually used in large projects that contain intricate mechanical, HVAC, as well as electrical systems.

In the recent years, there has been a massive demand for automation in commercial and residential infrastructures. Governments in emerging countries like China and India are aiming to build smart cities through government and stakeholder financing. However, a BAS can be very costly for customers, as a result, the building automation systems are mainly used in high-profile construction projects.

COVID-19 Impact on the Global Building Automation System Market

The unexpected rise of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 has adversely impacted the global building automation system market. During the pandemic period, the cessation of numerous industries across the world and execution of restrictions on the worldwide trade of raw materials required in the construction of buildings hindered the growth of the market. Moreover, the halt of construction projects has significantly deteriorated the demand for building automation systems, thus dropping their sales. However, as the worldwide construction sector is experiencing V-shaped recovery post-pandemic, the building automation systems market is also projected to flourish in the coming years.

The growth of economy, upsurge in construction activities, and speedy advancements in home automation products and technologies worldwide are likely to unlock stunning opportunities for the building automation system market’s growth. To sum up, the global market is expected to thrive significantly in the future years.
